Hi Igor, Try 4 cameras (my K-5/K-7, my son's K-r & daughter's K-01): we had a not so empty SD card go through all four cameras. It would seem that they can differentiate as to which files were taken by which camera and follow the correct numbering sequence although I have not had the experience of critical moments where it would reach xxxx9999.DNG and cause someone to lose count somewhere. I tend to be the one more confused more than the cameras so what I did was where I can change the file names, I changed it to _K5-xxxxx.DNG and _K7-xxxx.DNG. The K-r and the K-01 does not allow you to customize the file name but they are easily distinguishable because my son shoots in RAW (DNG) while my daughter shoots in JPEG. Yes, these different filenames often goes to the same folder. I never came to the point of confusing their numbering sequence because I anticipated that early and customized the filenames.
